I don't think so. I think there is always a special player like that. If Fabregas, RvP, Sanchez just to name a few had stayed and played well and committed, I can see that kind of salary eventually being paid. If things go back to normal as society did after the Spanish Flu, fans come back, I would not rule out another high wage contract similar to it.

West Brom rumored to be interested in Adebayor. Wow. Chasing that last decent pay I guess.

Crazy to think Suarez scored 198 goals for Barcelona when you consider Henry 'only' got 228 for us
Suarez got his goals in only 283 games and chipped in with 109 assists.

Seen a story we may take Jorginho from Chelsea rather than The other targets. I assume it is just click bait.

The most aggressive ads against Trump are from other Republicans of his party. There are a long list of former administration officials, Republicans, often serving former presidents, who have said the main job of officials is saving Trump from himself and saving the country from some calamitous event Trump wants done.

Numerous stories of Trump openly asking staffers to do something he knows is illegal, unconstitutional, may start a war, may end alliances with long time friends: France, the UK, Canada, etc, and they do not do it hoping he has forgotten and moved on to the next thing. He asks his staff to do these illegal acts and come up with some legal way to nuance it as "possible" legal.

But he is not the sole existential threat to the republic. Its the 40 percent or so that simply don't care or mind. Obama, both Bushes, Reagan, Carter, even Nixon have done things that could remove them from office. The constitution has a remedy for it and we have seen it in action and the very republic was not threatened. We would move on.

I could even envision a time that Biden would need saving from himself if his cognitive issues worsen. Reagan was certainly incoherent for chunks of his presidency. Eisenhower was largely incapable of governing after having a stroke. They all had staff that will protect them and carry on and none of them would ask their staff to routinely, often daily carry out highly unethical if not completely illegal acts.

The fact that there are a long, long list of Republicans who have openly endorsed Biden. A man they share almost no ideological similarities with. They are endorsing a man they know will enact policies they disagree with vehemently to their core. They do so for one simple reason. Trump is an existential threat to the survival of the country. And to world. Completely unprecedented. And completely understandable and brave.

A Biden victory will not end the threat. 40% of the people have zero issues with such acts and no nation can survive with that. it will come to a full blown confrontation in some form or manner. In 1860, 25 percent of the nation were openly fine with enslaving their fellow man. What is not discussed was that for 20 years previously all manner of compromises and threats were made. All manner of appeasements. It did not work. Because no nation can move forward with 25% of a nation believing enslaving your fellow man was acceptable in an enlightened nation.

The same rings true today. The country will come to a point, a crossroads, again that can not be delayed any longer. How it will end is up for speculation. A pandemic hasn't brought the country together as it did with the Spanish Flu. The country is rotten from within, no longer able to conceal it to the world

Sidenote: more journalists have been arrested, this year, largely for covering the protests, than even in some authoritarian countries.

I agree with one of the pundits with its not if Arsenal lose, its HOW we lose. Still holding out for a draw though.

We play Liverpool Monday and Thursday next week.

It's going to be a hell of a month for us. Make or break for certain. The Boss will have to put in a real shift. Don't believe he or maybe anyone has had such a monumental month of games.

We do not need any more injuries that's for sure.

Liverpool will be favourites of course, but at this stage of the season anything can happen. We've got a decentish chance.

I watched Biden's town hall in North Carolina.

He doesn't have cognitive issues. Even if he isn't as sharp as we was when in this brilliant speech ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_v00iGJCLY

but that is setting the bar very high ... and the bar is *%^@*** low if you don't mind me saying so.

The idea that Biden is mentally shot or is hiding in his basement is the same class of BS as the idea that Elizabeth Warren claimed to have Native American ancestry in order to get credibility with the woke crowd, or that Nancy Pelosi is a drunk.

The fact that Trump is able to create these slurs is disgusting but what is mindboggling is that the American public, and not just his zombies, buys it.

Guzzling fast food is one thing without chewing or looking. Guzzling fast nonsense is another.

I was watching a video of teammates who didn't like each other and it mentioned Kolo and Gallas. I had no idea. Maybe it was known at the time but I don't recall hearing about it.

If I had to guess Arsenal specific players who didn't like each other get along, I'd guess:

Henry and Reyes
Adebayor and pretty much everyone especially Bendtner
Lehmann and Taylor possibly, and if so it would be totally Lehmann's fault...lol
I heard Diaby used to bully Nasri when they were younger in France but not sure how true that is.

Thankfully the SG forum is one big love fest. :42laughter:

A few of the more reliable French outlets are reporting we've made a bid of €35m for Aouar and negotiations are taking place, with some even saying we've agreed personal terms with the player. If that last bit is true it probably means Lyon believe a deal can be made. Not done yet, but some very encouraging signs, he seems to be extremely highly rated.

Aside from him being a complete snide, cheat, wrong un he’s also massively over rated, usually flatters to deceive and goes missing regularly. Therefore I’m not shocked at all to hear you want him with us.

Ridiculous mate

There is enough noise around the Aouar deal that makes me think it will happen. The Lyon president has effectively said he can go at a the right price. Feels like the price may be around £40m plus add ons

Manchester United on their way to a very good win against a Brighton side that has been the much better tim - they've hit the woodwork five times and have two penalties turned down. Both decisions looked questionable. This United team continues to look quite mediocre.

Watching Brighton Man U. Just a few minutes left, Man U 2-1 up but Brighton have hit the woodwork 5 times, had a pen overturned by VAR and missed several other chances. They will be gutted to lose this.

Edit: beat me to it Haz!

F........ing ridiculous penalty given to Everton. Legit according to comms according to the new rules but what a joke of a penalty. The FA are determined to wreck the game of football.

I wonder what influence Mike Riley has had on the decision to change the law and the decision taken? He is the head ogf referees and must have been involved?

Tough loss for Brighton. Hoping they'd get something out of the match. They deserved better.

What I don’t understand is why referees have a big say in the law change? Surely it’s up to the FA and the clubs, and if the clubs are involved we won’t have all this “We don’t the new rule” nonsense that regularly crops up at the beginning of the season and the if the clubs are part of the decision making process and have a vote, they can tell the freaking players!

I know Man U and Chelsea both came back to get points but I’m quite happy with their performances. Both look out of sorts and neither manager is adding anything beyond the individual talent in their teams.

I realise I’ve never seen Aouar play, that I’ve noticed, or know much about him at all, but don’t worry for all of you in the same boat - I’ve done some YouTube scouting! For the layman in simple terms to me he seems like a more final third attacking Ceballos, with more pace and an eye for goal.

Plus the only news I can see is Lyon have soundly rejected our latest bid :icon_eek1:

That chelsea performance wasn’t great but I was impressed with mount and Havertz who did a decent job of connecting the dots in midfield.

We are desperate for that kind of player can play passing give and go type combination football. We just don’t have it and Aour seems to be in that mould.

I’ve never seen Aouar either, or if I have I don’t remember. Therefore I’ve also no idea what he’s like. But one comment I did see today was that he isn’t a ‘final pass’ midfielder. I took that to mean he isn’t a creative provider of assists, but someone who keeps the ball moving from both deeper and more offensive positions without being a Brady or Hudson ‘final pass’ type.

Look, as I said I know next to nothing about him. But if what I read is true, those who think we need another creative player (and I’m not convinced we do) could end up being disappointed. What I saw gave me impression he’s less creative than Ceballos.
